A simple video.... just showcasing the speed of the Windsurfer LT. Hope you enjoy!
Hi Paul, Nice video. Was wondering which Mavic 3 you are using? BR Jacob
@@JacobGramtorp Mavic 3 Pro
Yes
we can't put footstraps on the windsurfer LT?
Best ever advertisement for Windsurfer LT.
And it shows so nicely that it is 90% about who is sailing and 10% about the kit. Thanks so much Paul for bringing this kind of content to us.
A lot of skill there!
Just what I was thinking. Like Mick Jagger once said, "It's not the song, it's the singer."
I would add a large percentage of that mix to the conditions as well. Side onshore wind, shoulder high waves nice and spaced out and flat on the inside. Perfect to have fun on the Windsurfer. I loved the crossovers on the shared wave.
@@dairyairman yes, Paul was singing a sad song about the wind but Spotty thought it was well fine.
Also a good advert for the Mistral and Fanatic (?) which are the same board with different stickers on them.
I love it. No music... just the wind and the board tipical sound when planning on the water...
Best filming of windsurfing I've seen - great job and thanks for sharing!
this man is a hero. His skill is undeniable. He keeps up with everyone on small and new gear. incredible...
Wow, what an Inspiration. This guy is an absolute LEGEND !!!
Ohh its awesome ....thank you so much ****

and
Greetings from Germany
👍👋😅
So many legendary sailors in OZ, great to see this one's face and what he does on an LT.
The video? I agree with all the comments - GOOOOOOD 🤙🏾
Amazing!! Thank you for bringing back the magic of windsurfing!!! 🤩👏
Beautiful, hypnotic, I went back 40 years...
Yeah, me too 😂, good old time. Robby Naish, Pete Cabrinha, Jürgen Hönscheid, Windglider, Mistral Competition, HiFly 444. Damn, what a Time.
No footstraps, no battens, a long boom & THIS IS the sign of a skilled windsurfer....doing what many of us enjoyed years ago !
My first board (door) was a BIC, you must carry it too the water with two people (it was made from the same plastic as the Tupperware boxes :-P) otherwise you get pain in your back. And the mast boom connection was with a rope ......so you must reset it a couple off times, or you must set the rope very short with the risk you break your mast.
Seriously considering an LT now!!
Wish there were more in the UK.
Great video too
Really fun video. Thanks for sharing
Most beautiful video last 5 years 👏👏👏👏
Amazing control, especially with the standard rig.
Love this!! ❤ This is actually a proper windsurfing video! Sun, waves, wind, having fun, blasting with friends, great action shots. LOVE IT!
Simply the best windsurfer LT video at all times 💪💪💪🤙🤙🤙❤️
This is how u express the feeling of it. Juuuuust love it. 🤙🤙🤙🤙🇸🇪
Wow, that guy's an amazing sailor! Makes me pine for my old Windsurfer One Design from the 80's.
Like Robby Naish 45 yrs ago. First wave riding attempts with a windsurfer. Same pictures. I was 15 yrs old! Life makes circles. We went to the moon 55 yrs ago and we try to go again!!
Great video, with Windsurfer LT !!! Thanks!
Love it - best picture and best sound golden Oscar
This is absolutely amazing. Glad I purchased a windsurfer LT. This just proves that it can do it all.
Until you start going for loops 😅 although, I bet that a backloop would be possible (pretty dangerous though) with straps
Brings back memories from 30+ years ago...great retro stuff
Classic rig and board, beautiful sight on the plane.
So good to see this! I was lucky enough to be sailing with Spotty when he did his 32 knots on that LT. Pretty sure he managed a 45+knot 5x10 on his speed gear the same day. Spotty is a true blue Aussie legend!
Sick!
Keeping on bringing the fun back to Windsurfen!
👍🏄More joyfully exciting Windsurfing actions which were excellent and exciting to watch, but I just wish that it was me performing them.
Thanks for the video…sheer joy to watch.
I had a cassette version of the Windsurfer in the early 1980’s, sailing Middle Harbour off Clontarf out to the Heads. If not there, Narrabeen Lakes or Pittwater off Palm Beach.
Sailed most afternoons till the light faded. Some fast sailing, some ended up just cruising…either way, I loved it!
64 yo now…just thinking, I might just jump back into Windsurfing again.
Awesome mate get back into it! I got an LT it's great fun.
Absolutely awesome. Too many of us get so hung up on having the “right”board for the given conditions. Screw it, just get out on what you got and give’er. This proves it. You can have fun on anything with the right attitude and obviously some serious skill. He was having way more success powering through lulls and heading upwind, and likely more fun. Epic footage Paul!
🙌
great skills - love it
Superb footage! Come on Ben Proffitt, you know that you have to give it a go😀
Haha
Makes me want to go windsurfing again, reminds me of cruising around on my one design in the 80's
Absolutely brilliant!! Thanks mate ❤❤
Never saw such an amazing video of windsurfing !
Longboard revival! Love my 11'8 Exocet windsup in the waves and casual cruising. Step tail is magic. Their new Breeze models are intriguing as well.
Me too! My Exocet 11’8” is great for open ocean😊 I would still like a Windsurfer LT as well…
lots of fun... super cool
Well done. I looked at the LT in North Beach Windsurfing FL. They said it was good. This proves it.
This has got me inspired - haven’t been windsurfing in months
Great!
Great to see Spotty. I admired his skills and speeds at the shallow inlet in Sandy Point. He was always so powerful and with great technique. I have not seen him sailing Port Phillip bay for a long time.....superb footage once again. Cheers
Great video! Thanks
Very cool! Thanks, Paul!
Looks like so much fun!!
Get over here!
The simple joy of windsurfing ...great awesome ride and rider ! 🤩(and drone pilot 😉)
That Windsurfer LT was amazeballs 😊… great video was smiling large!!! 👍
What a great video ! How could you not want to try windsurfing after watching this gem?
Pretty happy also that it shows fun is not conditionned on riding the newest and smallest kit you can get.
Impressive 😮 Joy to watch
all your clips are very very good, but this one is just remarkable ... and no music, just wind, waves, voice occasionally. what a delight. Thank you!
Awesomeness LT BLASTING 💥✨⚡️👍🤩🙏
WOW!! Just amazing!!
Fantastic footage. Great sailing. Love the footwork and front foot position parallel to the rail. Good stuff!!🤘
Fantastic! Fun! Lovely!
BRAVO cuanta pasión. Amé Geralton.
Thank you PVB!!! such a cool vid
Amazing Paul. Thanks so much for putting this together. Brings back lots of great memories and is super-inspiring to get out on some big kit again!
🙌
That board change was revolutionary... The segment of you following Scotty was special.. He's got arms like Arnold Shwarzanegger his back hand that far down the boom... 💪
What a beast!! I always wondered how today’s windsurfer would manage with an old board and now I have the answer. It’s simply awesome. It does take a lot of strength to manage in those winds, kudos to Spotty for handling it, he is surely no kid!
BTW, anybody noticed the double loop at 9:25?
Double something or rather - duck the sail then 2 spins off the wind
Loving it Paul! What a Legend!
Epic video. Awesome. Just Awesome.
I wonder also what Spotty would make of the Exocet Breeze that Patrice B was talking to Ben about in his recent video. Are long boards in waves gonna make a come-back? Spotty can certainly make that thing dance!
Looks sick that board ✌️
kona 11 ft!
Patrice should offer a board to test.
All has been mentioned already in previous comments... big LIKE on all levels!
That was awesome🤙🏻 Thanks Paul, you are a good windsurf storyteller!
Good old surfing! Verk impressed 😊 And I absolutely love your video work, it is so good!
Wow, great bottom turn in what looked like a head high waves and no foot straps!!! Mad skills.
Il a vraiment la classe 👍🏻
Moin Paul! Happy riding and nice wave sharing
After 27 minutes and 41 seconds I found myself with the biggest grin on my face.
I love big boards...
😁
very nice video! so enjoyed watching it!
LOL@48knots, hahaha! Looks like so much fun!
haha
Bit of spinout there? Nightmare.....windowfin cure ? Jimmy lewis mudshark style ...great vid !!
AUStralia is windsurf HEAVEN
What a fantastic video and just crazy windsurfing! I love my LT, such a fun and versatile board also in stronger winds. It looks so big on land but on the water it is quite a beast. Would love to see Robby Naish on a new Windsurfer LT!!
Amazing shots ! Thank you from a now full time LT sailor ! That Craig Spotty is an incredibly talented windsurfer !!! I have a hard time keeping it honest in 25 knots on my LT ! I must say, for where I live and where I sail , the LT is the perfect fun tool ! Cheers Paul ! ( I still sail occasionally my Kode and my 4.7 zeta above 25 knots 😅)
Love your videos Paul! Thanks for your efforts. This one was awesome! 🤙🤩
Long live the longboards!!! It would be cool to see a Kona one out there. It has a great shape for waves.
My wife (now wife - in 1982 my girlfriend) are windsurfers. My wife had a Ten Cate back in the days before F2 and waveboards ect.(my hey-days). So I had to get her a Windsurfer LT a couple of years ago for her birthday! Its kind of a family thing now, even our son rides it occasionally. We know five others in the community who ride too. And take part in competitions.
That’s great! Brings the family together!
Thailand held a Windsurfer LT course racing competition in April. Good sized field and very hot! This is outrageous, thank you!
Gotta love it - SMILES!
Lovely
i always wondered what those LT boards could really do WOW!
maan, drone footage is the shiznit!
Insane action well done mate
New video from PvB... Oh man your content is perfect after a long day in the office! Can't wait to get some wind again... Thanks for sharing! 🤙
🙌
Wow, that is cool!!!
Those swell gybes! Spotty is a G!
Nice sailing and footage!
What a perfect spot you live in!🌊 you bring great vibes to our house🤙🏼
Looks fun to ride
Those LT boards are a lot of fun
Rented one last holiday and really enjoyed it
I use to take my Starboard Cruiser 12’6” out with a Sailworks Retro 6.5 at Hood River, boy did I get some looks! I really enjoyed it. Couldn’t keep the nose down very well. Love this type of sailing😎🇲🇽
You make it look easy. great video
😊 yes that is years and years of experience … riding such a big board without foostraps in those epic conditions…. Conditions way more suitable for 75 litres waveboard and 4.0 !!!! Bravo !
Interesting setup, mast base completely to the back and without using the daggerboard. I always wonder when to use it and when to skip. But with 68kg I could not manage these windy conditions I think.
Still love the LT as in Baltic Sea we most often have light winds around 10-15kts.
Longboard windsurfing on light wind gentle waves is waaay fun. I miss my dagerboard.
Great film Paul. I was at this spot, when I visited North from Perth and Geraldton. Great spot, good video. My compliments, Paul van Bellen (Simon van der Sluijs, Windsurfer LT Netherlands)
This is absolutely awesome to watch as I have always considered doing similar on a windsup board just having them extra litres under me as I am a 115kg windsurfer very keen to give it a crack and get into some small waves luv it 👍
Get into it!
Hoyle would be proud.
Every video of yours makes me want to travel to Geraldton. I don't know if it's a good place to learn to wavesail but the water looks beautiful and there's always wind and waves haha. Maybe some day...
It's a great place to learn in the waves!
Amazing how fast he is going and his Wave Skills. Love the natural sound . Great video Paul! P.S. I am using a similar concept which is the Sealion XL. No straps. Great board for surf sailing.
Good times! 🤙🏻
So fun !!!
